After a tough outing against Carolina, the Habs looked to get back on track Thursday against Nashville. They played a much better game but weren’t rewarded for their efforts, falling 5-2.
In advance of what many expected would be his season debut Thursday, goaltender Samuel Montembeault left practice today with an injury. In response, Montreal has recalled netminder Jacob Fowler from Laval.
Ivan Demidov’s sophomore season isn’t getting off to the best of starts. The Habs announced on Tuesday that the winger will miss the next two-to-four weeks with a lower-body injury.
Laval kicked off the 2026-27 season with a pair of home games against a division rival in Syracuse. They struggled considerably in the opener but rebounded well with a six-goal effort the next day to pick up a split.
The first week of the season is in the books for the Habs. They only played in two games but they were both eventful. In the end, despite some rough stretches, Montreal was able to come away with three points out of four to get them started on the right note.
The Laval Rocket kicks off its tenth season of operation on Friday night as they host Syracuse. It has been a season of turnover for Montreal’s top affiliate, with plenty of changes to their roster.
Going into training camp, it looks like Jacob Fowler had a shot at making Montreal’s roster but Samuel Montembeault secured the spot instead. Cutting Fowler was the prudent move, at least for the time being.
With no activity on the trade or waiver front on Monday, the Habs have finalized their season-opening roster for the 2026-27 season, consisting of 23 active players plus one more on injured reserve.
Ahead of Monday’s roster deadline, the Habs have taken some more strides toward finalizing their group to start the season. The team announced on Sunday that they’ve assigned ten players to Laval.
